Alcohol Awareness Week is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking and is week of awareness-raising, campaigning for change and more. Alcohol Awareness Week takes place from 15-21 November 2021.
Young people can get straight-talking advice about alcohol directly from our new self-help tool, The Wrap: www.thewrapdhi.org.uk
